Man United are preparing a final transfer offer of £60 million for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo after their initial bid failed.

The first bid included £45 million upfront and £10 million in add-ons, but Brentford rejected the proposal and held firm.
United are now returning with £55 million guaranteed and £5 million in bonuses, which matches Brentford’s minimum valuation for the player.
Mbeumo is reportedly open to joining Man United, with personal terms already agreed—£200,000 per week on a five-year deal with an option.
If completed, the move would make Mbeumo United’s second summer signing after sealing Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million switch from Wolves.
United boss Ruben Amorim is prioritising attacking reinforcements following a poor return of just 44 league goals last Premier League season.
That tally was the second lowest among non-relegated teams, prompting serious concern at Old Trafford about their lack of firepower.
Mbeumo, 25, impressed at Brentford and is seen as a dynamic wide forward who can both create and finish consistently, reports Mirror.
The main obstacle to the transfer remains the fee, but United hope this final offer will be accepted by Brentford.
United plan to raise up to £150 million through player sales to boost Amorim’s £150 million summer transfer budget.
